I declare that Komodo is truly the ceiling of the Southeast Asian archipelago, and 'Human Saedar' is indeed well-deserved
🇮🇩 Lombok-Komodo 4 days and 3 nights whale shark liveaboard, just got off the boat today, fresh memories! Feel free to ask questions in the comments if you have any
There are liveaboards in Komodo with scuba diving and others with snorkeling tours, the latter having three categories: Lombok-Komodo, Komodo-Lombok, and Komodo-Komodo. Among them, ⚠️only the Lombok-Komodo 4 days and 3 nights option I chose includes a whale shark itinerary!!!
I know of at least 3 liveaboard companies, wanua, travelwise, komodo luxury cruise. The first two have basic boat types, with dormitory beds around 3000k, and the third one is a bit more luxurious, with dormitory beds at 5500k. The itinerary is exactly the same, only the departure dates differ.
I took the wanua company that departs on Monday
The itinerary is as follows, with a rough timeline:
Day1
Hotel pick up, check in at 10 am, take a minibus for three hours to the pier. Take a boat for over an hour to a small island opposite to watch the sunset.
Day2
Arrive at the whale shark spot at 5 am, chase whale sharks, it's too deep to dare to take a phone to take pictures, I stole a picture from Google, reality is far more shocking.
Sailing all day and night, the boat will stop for half an hour in the middle, for diving and swimming
This day is a bit tough, you must take seasickness medicine, I played cards with everyone in the afternoon then took medicine and went to sleep, woke up for dinner and then continued to sleep, there was hardly any signal all day.
Day3
Woke up at 6 am to find that we had already arrived at Komodo
Today is the most activity-packed day, checked off Komodo's three most famous spots, and each spot had ample time, more relaxed than the day trips departing from Komodo.
2 hours on Komodo Island looking for Komodo dragons, 3 hours at Pink Beach, and sunset at Padar Island at 4 pm. Almost no other tourists at all three spots.
Day4
First snorkeling in the morning at a spot (if you have some diving experience, you will find it quite ordinary), then go to Kelor Island for 3 hours, you can hike or snorkel to see baby sharks.
Return to the boat for lunch and then head to the pier to end the trip.
Finally, of course, let's talk about the minefields:
1⃣️Unless there's a surprise, you will be the only Asian tourist on the boat, and it's unlikely anyone will speak Chinese
2⃣️The food is even worse than I imagined, even 4 days of lunch and dinner had the same two vegetarian dishes, please be sure to bring instant noodles on board
3⃣️Sleeping in the dormitory not only means dealing with other people's snoring but also a faint smell of engine oil, and the vibration of the entire deck, as the boat sails throughout the night (but I slept super well, always the first to sleep, the white people were so envious of me)
4⃣️This route does not include sunset bats, Manta snorkeling spots, Crescent Bay, etc. You can consider staying in Komodo for an extra day to join a local half-day tour.
There's a local ranger. My advice, don't use red clothes. The komodo sensitive with red things. You can do short or long trekking here. Don't disturbing them while they're eating 🤣
A very good value trip, 19 Christmas, in Bali to die, to Komodo on the boat sigh: this is the trip, the wall crack recommended boat lodging, the cheapest boat we package is not dizzy at all, the crew is super simple. Special pink beach, the oldest Komodo giant python, the beautiful four fjords, the sunset of Caron bats return to their nest, lying on the deck at night and watching the sky full of stars, there have been meteors all night, the first time I saw the meteor, the boat is three days and two nights, and there are meteors all night. So happy. It is also a gospel for divers. It is free to dive anytime, anywhere, so cool.
I can't describe my feelings because it's so beautiful. The pink beach, the blue sea, the vast mountains, there are not so many tourists in Bali, and it is unforgettable to live in a paradise.
A particularly good island with superstar Komodo on it
